    You would be surprised how many don't know this either then you could find the El Primero movement in all sorts of things

    It's cool that this thread popped back up recently. I recently decided that it was finally time for me to get a watch and so, for Christmas, my lovely girlfriend went half-zies with me on an Orient automatic. I picked up an aftermarket leather band soon after I got it (the polished stainless band it came with was a bit too blingy for me and my line of work). I am super happy with this purchase, and I get complimented everywhere I wear it. The in-house Japanese automatic movement is running like clockwork *ha* so far. It also comes with some great features for the price including sapphire crystal and an open-heart face that shows the balance wheel spinning and several of the jewels. Now I just have to keep myself from picking up a "sporty" watch to wear on the weekends .

    Pics or it didn't happen:

    If you really want to see some works of art go to Jochen Benzinger Watches From WatchBuys - WatchBuys and look at the watches by Jochen Benzinger. I should have bought one or two when they could be had for a couple of grand, now the prices will make your eyebrows fall off

    WatchBuys really has some of the most interesting and lesser known brands out there. They are also great to do business with!
